September 2021!

[Keyboard91]

I’ve created a thread for September 2021 babies in the birth club board. Come and join me if you get those long awaited bfps this month!

Xxxx

@Scotti84 two?! That's exciting! Any history of twins in the family?

I'm glad everything has gone well today for you!

@123deepbreath it’s not something I’d even considered tbh but I did always want two children so if it turns out to be twins I’m sure we’ll manage! No history on my side or my OHs!

Thank you! X

@Scotti84 oooh exciting prospect!!

@Idreamof2more I'm due 14th and DS2 will be 2 on the 10th... He was 3.5 weeks overdue though so kind of hoping this one is a little bit over too to space it out!!!

I wonder what Boris is going to announce tonight...
On that topic our local maternity ward has been closed since March... Reaallllly hoping they reopen and it doesn't end up being permanent

Hi ladies!!!! Hope we are all well?
I'm new to all of this, being my first pregnancy and got my BFP on the 27th Dec. Very excited but nervous at the same time it's a strange feeling....
congratulations to all

Ladies is anyone experiencing bad constipation!!! 😩

hey @Birchtree4 yeah i work in the NHS! not front line though. do u?
argh bad luck @Idreamof2more :( not currently experiencing that no. hope u r ok!
thinking might phone and book in with midwife tomorrow, feels so strange having done absolute zero since getting a BFP - think we are still a bit in denial about it and dont wanna get too excited after a miscarriage. but hey, better get the ball rolling at least and assume everything will go to plan this time!
anyone else not really got symptoms? i feel queasy now and then, but cramps have mainly gone now and really disconcerting that my boobs arent at all sore....and they were agony last time at this stage!!!

@Idreamof2more so much. I don't know what's going on with me 🤣

I have so many symptoms. I've actually taken to walking round the house with my arm underneath my boobs and carrying them because they're just so painful 🤣🤣🤣 don't know what I'll do when I back in work tomorrow 🤣

Spots, cramps, bowels, anxiety, food aversion, boobs on fire. Wouldnt change a thing though ❤🥰

@idreamof2more yes to constipation! I am usually so regular. Have even upped my fruit and veg intake but no luck! Gahhh

@leftitlate37 ahhh yes I am front line. I was going to ask when you plan on telling your employer. I might wait until 9 weeks or so as if/when they start making allowances for me before it'll be reeeeeally obvious to all my colleagues!

@Idreamof2more let me know if you find any home remedies!

ah yeah sorry, bit diff situation to you @Birchtree4 - how r u feeling about it all? guess will be hard telling them early but definitely worth it to be able to look after yourself! have you got any thoughts about getting one of the covid vaccines, looks like guidance changed now and theyll also give the pfizer one to pregnant women as well as oxford one (risk/benefit all considered etc!)!

Hi all!

So many new posts, I'm terrible at keeping up! Hope everyone is well and congrats to all those joining!

I've just made us some veggie chilli (literally taco beans, passata, onions, rice and sweet potato) and I can't even eat it. Sat here in tears whilst my husband is consoling me yet eyeing up the leftovers 🤦🏽‍♀️.

Does anyone have any tips for meals in the evening? I have a feeling I'll be eating toast, fruit and crisps for the next few weeks...😭

@leftitlate37 I am in exactly the same boat - 4+5 today and my symptoms before were bloating and cramps but the last day or two the cramps have pretty much gone and I just feel a bit 'off' but not sure of whether that is because of anxiety or symptoms. Trying so hard not to use Dr Google!!! Keep squeezing my boobs to see if they are sore 😂😂.

Ladies this is the first line test I have done and my period is 2 days late. Got a digital confirmation yesterday so no line to compare it with. Assumed it would be darker. I did only just do it and have been weeing more x

Thats a good way to describe it @Zelda91! I just feel like that sicky feeling when you've got an exam looming! Same as u I'm constantly prodding my boobs to see if they hurt!! They r starting to get a bit lumpy...maybe that's my fault! Let's keep off Google....!

Haha yes been telling myself I have massive boob pain tolerance after BFing DD for 2 years and her being a nipple fiddler when she sneaks into our bed at night 😂

This thread makes me a little sad! Only because I'm so jealous!!!! This time last year I had just got my bfp and my gorgeous second daughter is sat grinning at me right now! Born 10th September 2020.

I remember reading when people were due in March/April 2021 and saying to my husband 'wow....people getting pregnant now are due next year!' It felt like it all went so quickly.

Congratulations to all getting their bfp now! It's a worrying time - but right now I'm so jealous of you all!

@Zelda91 @leftitlate37

I am 4+4 nausea, boob pain and headaches last week literally nothing the last few days just slight boob pain, reassuring others are symptom free too

@Idreamof2more yep, I’m with you on that one. Not loving that side effect!

@Scaredycat101 I have a bit of hunger but the nausea does not make it easy. I’m either on dry, simple things like toast or rice cakes, or I throw some veg in a small omelette, that way at least I can tell myself I’m getting good stuff to the baby and try and override it in my mind. I did enjoy a jacket potato yesterday, didn’t finish it but that was quite easy to get down. I wonder when cravings are going to kick in

Hello everyone.

Congratulations on your pregnancies!

I found out on Xmas day at 9dpo that I was expecting. I was shocked I got a positive so early. Confirmed with a digital on the 30th so I'm 4w5d.
I've created a private f/book group. There's only 5 of us so far if anyone wants to join.

Due September 2021uk

How everyone doing so far? Hope it's also ok for me to join you all. Xx

@joanne1062 thanks for the link but I have just joined the other one set up by @Noornie.
I think there’s about 30 on that one of you want to join and create one big one? The link is a few pages back xx

I'll go have a look for it. Xx

Erm, so I'm experiencing some pretty big anxiety at the moment. Does anyone have any advice how to calm down for the next few weeks or some good strategies? I don't know why I'm feeling like this, it's totally overriding the joy and excitement that I should be feeling.

@Zelda91 I get the feeling "off" thing. 4 weeks today (or 4+1 according to the other app, going to have to pick) and today was kinda quest or off all day and didn't really want to eat. Now hungry

Hi all,

Can I join? I've lurked in the background for a bit and actually changed my name as I haven't written in my other group yet.

I got my BFP on 21st Dec. have had 2 x bloods done and a scan yesterday - was tracking at 5+1 but my calculations would have made it 5+5. It did have a tiny heartbeat though.

I haven't written here or in my other group as I'm just so so nervous. I thought I'd ovulated the day before we went to a fertility specialist. He scanned me and confirmed very confidently I had not. But my BBT had gone up and it stayed up after that. And here I am 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am so nervous because I'd been sent to the fertility specialist because my cycles were irregular and hormone levels were not good. Makes me think how could my body sustain a pregnancy?

@Lisakathryn the only way I'm staying calm enough is keep doing the things I love - I'm still going to my gym class daily and my instructors know, I've really dialed everything down so HR doesn't go too high. And reminding myself I really cannot control what happens now. I haven't drank any alcohol, don't smoke, trying to eat as well as possible (appetite is kind of non-existent atm though). That's all I can do.
